Has anyone had a problem with the base scratching wood floors?

I do, the plastic rim has ripped and I can't find anything to replace it with... only 2 months since I bought these, and may have to buy new chairs...

Not at all. The have a hard rubber piece so thr medal is not touching the floor.

Sorry, mine are on a Duraceramic floor. They don't scratch it and I wouldn't think they would scratch wood but I can't say with 100% certainty that they wouldn't.

Has not damaged mine. The wheels are a soft rubber and I would find it hard to image that they would scratch or mar a wood floor.

No, it does not scratch wood floors. It does a great job! And the suction gets the hard to reach corners.

I have been using them directly on my wood floor and had no trace and no sign of damage on my floor. Just wanted to share this experience.

No, it does not scratch the wooden floors. It does a beautiful job cleaning them, and is so quiet.

I have been using the chair for about six months and we have hard wood floors and I have not had any scratches from the chair.

No! It does not scratch my hardwood floors, and the vacuum is far superior than any vacuum I have ever owned. It has two motors and the head swivels. So awesome! It is heavy however...but I workout with weights at the gym. Hope this helps!

None, but it has not scratched our floors...we've used them for Poms to Bernese Mtn dog whom moved it all over the place. The painted coating makes the surface area very smoothe. They are heavy duty but they do not weight alot - I push them out of place, mop the floor and then push them back and I have not made scratches on the floor doing that either. I suppose if the wood is a soft wood like Maple it may be a problem I'm not sure.

I haven't noticed it scratching my hardwood floors, (or any other floors), but my wood floors are parquet, and are not covered with polyurethane, so scratches would be less noticeable anyway.

No. We have not experienced that problem and ours are placed on a hardwood floor

It doesn't have a very soft floor end, and the wheels are plastic, but it also isn't very heavy. We didn't have any problem with scratched floors, but our wood floors had a pretty scratch-resistant finish. It could cause slight scratches on softer finishes.

Mine is on top of hard wood floors and I've had no problems with it so far.

I haven't encountered any problems with the pads, the orange part is slightly soft. However I've only done one job with new hardwoods, every other time I've been on old scuffed floors. Obviously watch out for stuff like drywall mud or mortar which will make your pads more prone to scratch, I know I've had to clean up mine.

I tend to run it on area rugs and bare hardwood and marble floors. It has not been an issue I have had to deal with.

I have nit had a problem with wood floors. If you raise the level to the highest setting the brushes do not touch the wood floor, and there is plenty of suction to do the job.

It hasn't scratched my oak floors and my 4yr old has had it for over a year. Just don't let your child ride it outside then bring it back in.
